The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Hints
How do I get past the room filled with rats?
1 of 13: This room contains a locked door, two rat-holes in the walls, and a moveable block.
2 of 13: Oh, and a whole lotta rats.
3 of 13: Kill all the rats you can first, just to get them out of the way, if nothing else.
4 of 13: You will notice on your map screen that one of the rats runs away before you can get close to him.
5 of 13: You will also notice that particular rat has the key to the door in his mouth.
6 of 13: We're going to need to trap him.
7 of 13: If you observe his movements, you will see he runs out of the right hole, around the path, and into the left hole.
8 of 13: However, we have a moveable block at our disposal.
9 of 13: Move that block to block the left hole.
10 of 13: Now, when he comes from the right side, he won't be able to get in, and will run back to the right side again.
11 of 13: This is the time to ambush him -- when he is returning from the left to the right.
12 of 13: Hit him with a spin attack or something similarly quick, and he will drop the key.
13 of 13: You can then pick it up, and use it to unlock the door.
